Quick rom customization question

Im trying to add some ringtones and apps into one of my favorite roms so things will be a little easier when Im testing out other roms...I think the new zip file I make though needs to be signed. Can anyone point me into the right direction??

Amon_RA said:
You can get any custom ROM working on your Rogers Magic and basically on every HTC branded Magic around. If you like to "port" a custom Google-branded ROM to a HTC-branded ROM follow these steps :
- I assume that you have basic Linux knowledge and that you know how to set up your own environment and tools, unpack gz files and cpio them etc...
- Download these tools. They contain the JesusFreke's SignApp, William Enck's splitboot using my recompiled mkbootimg-H binary (including the HTC branded offsets), and a repack pearl script.
Now the actually work :
1. Get the boot.img and recovery.img from your original HTC branded Magic (fastboot my recovery image and use nandroid for this).
2. unpack the boot.img and recovery.img using unpack-H.pl.
3. move both kernels somewhere save, you'll need them later.
4. Download the google branded custom ROM you want to port, most of the custom ROMs come in the form of a update.zip file.
5. Extract the boot.img and recovery.img (if there is one) from the update.zip.
6. unpack the boot.img and recovery.img (same as step 2).
7. replace both kernels with the ones you saved previously in step 3.
8. repack boot boot.img and recovery.img using repack-H.pl
9. copy both boot.img and recovery.img in the update.zip package making sure you overwrite the existing ones inside with the new ones.
10. Sign the update.zip file with SignApp (see readme inside rar).
11. Copy the update.zip file to your SDcard.
12. fastboot my recovery image and choose data wipe and then update.
13. reboot
Good luck

This is where I get confused at. I read this "Usage:
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 <update.zip> <update_signed.zip>" But I dont know how to do that...Im using OSX right now is there any way to do it or do I need linux?

Can anyone give me some advice??

[UPDATE 22/08/12] ROM Cooking Guide (One Package)

This is how I made ROM, I'll try to write the steps as simple as I can. For advanced users only!
Update 22/08/11:
Revised packaging steps.
Update 13/08/11:
Removed unwanted method for ROM cooking.
Update 04/08/11:
Modified extract and repack ROM guide and added extracting system.rfs guide.
Things you need:
Base firmware
Archiver software (7zip recommended)
Any Linux environment to build ROM or Cygwin
APK Manager to optimize and decompile *.apk files
MagicISO (Optional) if you want to extract system.rfs
And the last thing is... You need enough experience in android world
So, here is the steps to cook a ROM:
Flash your phone with your desired base firmware
Make required modifications
Pull system.rfs from your phone by running this command on adb shell or Terminal Emulator:
Code:
dd if=/dev/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.rfs
Extract any *.tar.md5 files from your base firmware to your working folder with 7zip
Replace the current system.rfs with your modified one
EDIT: Pack your ROM by running this code via terminal or just pack it with 7zip/WinRAR as *.tar
Code:
tar -H ustar -c * >> ROMNAME.tar
change ROMNAME to your desired, well, ROM name.
Here is (yet) useful guide to modify your ROM.
Extract system files on system.rfs to make modding easier:
Extract PDA file (*.tar.md5) files with 7zip
Open system.rfs with MagicISO
To extract it, just drag and drop
NOTE: Never edit your ROM with MagicISO because the file permissions will be ignored, use MagicISO only for extracting files from system.rfs
Deodex, and Zipalign (optimize) your ROM apk files:
Ready to use deodex + root for KPN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196230
Ready to use deodex + root for KPH and other firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118048
Open APK Manager
To zipalign your apk files, in apk manager folder /place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize put your:
framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and all system apk
but not these:
AxT9IME, Calculator, Camera, Email, MMS, Phone, Screen Capture, Settings, Swype, Thinkdroid, Voice search
Choose Choose option 15
Then choose both (zp)
Let it run and done.
Now put back the apk files where they belong in the ROM.
How to put these apk files to my ROM? Copy these files to appropriate locations, such as /system/app to your ROM's /system/app, and etc.

As Linux, MagicISO read RFS image as a FAT filesystem. File permissions can not be maintained. A better way but need linux:
1. Mount system.rfs as FAT and mount it to /tmp/rfs
2. Make ext4 image, and mount it to /tmp/system
3. Copy /tmp/rfs contents to /tmp/system
4. Make modification inside /tmp/system
5. Fix file permissions inside /tmp/system
6. Umount both image
7. Make ODIN flashable image, contains system.rfs (now in ext4 format) and CF-Root-S5830 boot and recovery image (for ext4 support)
8. Boot to Windows and flash your new firmware using ODIN.

I use this command to mount rfs:
Code:
mount -o loop system.rfs /some_dir
Can you share us the command?

now thats really informative. thanks

ROM unpacking and repacking gude has been corrected. Tested by me. If you have any problems, just ask here.

[Q] How to make a system folder into a system.img

Hello XDA, I'm kind of new to ROMs etc. and would appreciate some help. I am trying to install mikegapinski's 2.3.7 ROM (v5) through fastboot and whereas in the past I have seen a boot.img and a system.img, there is a boot.img and a system folder. Is there a way to make the folder into a system.img file that I could flash onto my GT540?
In short, how do you make a system.img file out of a folder with system files in them?

hey there !
(system.img + boot.img) is for fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
and the (system folder + boot.img) is for recovery
use any recovery
select zip from sdcard
select the zip
i dont think you can convert the folder to a .img(or the other way around) . and if the rom you are talking about mike's aosp v5 then i wont recommend it as for now there are problems with the ram and so it becomes very laggy. i would recommend mur4iks swiftdroid asis but the choice is yours

I know you can 'extract' images using 'unyaffs' but I never made an image from a folder (except when dumping partitions). I think there is a way though.

If you have Linux on your PC, then you can use the 'yaffs' tool. Search it on Google.
This is how even AOSP compiles system folder into system.img

I got it. If you use Linux, you can create an iso file of the system folder, and then convert it to .img. Just follow it:
In a terminal(CTRL+ALT+T):
Code:
mkisofs -o /path/to/the/system/folder ~/system.iso
dd if=~/system.iso of=~/system.img
rm ~/system.iso
Your system.img will be on your home directory.

and it work's too ? (when you flash it from fastboot)

pls if you find a solutuon please pm me. And do you think flashing the system.img will solve booting probz?

suggestion
take a look at this url, and examine the zip file contained.
you could boot into cwm and install the zip (not suggesting, its what i did)
if u make a zip file in the same layout you could install your zip and it will update the system partition.
as you have a desire, heres whats required
on phone: place phone into fastboot mode
on computer: unzip to a folder , place the img file in such folder,
open a command prompt, (navigate to folder using the cd command)
and type: fastboot boot bravo-cwm.img
mount sd card, toggle usb storage, place your zip in root of sdcard.
then untoggle, go back, select option to install zip from sdcard.
choose select zip file.
find your zip.
tap on the file, and it will install...
you SHOULD by this point have an updated phone as you desired (lol)
if it does not work as you expected, have a look for a standard system.img for your phone, and put that into a zip
name the zip (i put it in caps, weather needed i dont know) PM99IMG.zip
place it into root of sdcard, and put phone into the first screen of recovery menu, the white screen.
it will analyze your zip and ask you to install, press up to flash and then the required option to reboot when its done to revert your phone back to normal.
hope this helps there buddy,
ill most likley forget to check back, so if u need any help pm me and ill see what i can do,

Is this working

[Tutorial] Add TWRP to AOSP LP 5.0 boot.img

I've updated the boot.img for paxb build 504 with TWRP to replace CWM. Some were asking how to do this.
Always keep a backup of a file known as working. If your device doesn't boot after flashing a modified file, just reflash that backup.
To perform this mod on your own follow these steps:
1. Download and unpack the Android Image Kitchen
2. Extract the boot.img from the downloaded ROM to the kitchen directory
3. Unpack the image:
Code:
unpackimg.bat boot_cwm_pabx_504.img
Output:
Code:

BOARD_TAGS_OFFSET 00000100
Unpacking ramdisk to "/ramdisk/" . . .
Compression used: gzip
9694 blocks
Done!
This process will overwrite previously extracted contents!!!
4. Create a directory for the original image content, e.g. "boot_cwm_pabx_504" and COPY the created directories "ramdisk" and "split_img" into it. This ensures you can recreate it if necessary or access its original contents
5. Repeat step 4 for a downloaded TWRP (or any other recovery) image, e.g. "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-yuga.img".
6. Locate the "*-ramdisk.cpio.gz" file in the dirs from step 5, most likely in "split_img".
7. Ensure the "ramdisk" and "split_img" directories in the kitchen root dir are those from the image you want to modify (i.e. copy back from the folder created in step 4. Then remove the "*.cpio" from the "ramdisk\recovery" directory
8. Extract the TWRP "*.cpio" file from the "*-ramdisk.cpio.gz" in step 6 to "ramdisk\recovery" and rename it to "ramdisk-recovery.cpio"
9. rebuilt the image with the updated content:
Code:
repackimg.bat
Output:
Code:

board =
base = 80200000
pagesize = 2048
kernel_offset = 00008000
ramdisk_offset = 02000000
tags_offset = 00000100
Building image . . .
10. Step 9 creates a file called "image-new.img". Rename it to something more self-explanatory, i.e. "boot_twrp_2.8.0.1_pabx_504.img"
11. To flash the file flash it like any other file using the new name:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot_twrp_2.8.0.1_pabx_504.img
fastboot reboot
That's it, enjoy your new recovery.
Note: I had issues getting TWRP 2.8.1.0 working, so I'm still using the predecessor 2.8.0.1.
The latest pabx "boot.img" modified with TWRP is attached.
Known issues
after restoring a Nandroid backup access to the internal storage isn't allowed anymore
Open a terminal or run through a adb shell:
Code:

Thank works dobře.TWRP I like long ....

cant understand what you mean in step 7 and 8..... i just unpacked boot.img (the img that i want to put a recovery on it) and then i created a folder and i copied split_img and ramdisk into it.....then i unpacked twrp.img and it replaced the previous split_img and ramdisk folders with the twrp ones..... i still have the folder i created with the original split_img and ramdisk folders from boot.img but i can understand what to do next....
well, sorry for that,...i think i got it now that i read it about 20 times..... one question though :
i copy ramdisk.cpio.gz from the twrp and i move it to the recovery folder of the boot img without extracting? just renaming it from ramdisk.cpio.gz to ramdisk-recovery.cpio ???

Yeah I didn't fully understand that either, but i just tried it.
You delete ramdisk-recovery.cpio from /ramdisk.
You extract ramdisk.cpio.gz to the /ramdisk folder.
You rename it to ramdisk-recovery.cpio.
Repack image.
(note that when the kernel you use is already a dualrecovery kernel -lightning for example, cwm philz+twrp- and u want it to be multirom twrp, u need to edit init.sh also found in /ramdisk folder somewhere)
BTW thanks for this guide! I was messing with this a few days ago and I couldn't get it to work, thanks to you I now understand why!:thumbup:

I tried to put latest twrp into latest boot.IMG of Thomas lollipop 23/11/14 build and I thought it worked but I press volume up and down to enter the recovery and it does nothing....it doesn't boot,it just freezes with the led lighting.... please help I really want twrp to work with lollipop

Reread what I wrote.
You probably didn't extract ramdisk.cpio.gz, or you putted it into /split_img I think. Cuz I had that too, but if you follow the exact steps it will work!

no I did exactly what you said... I fully understood the instructions,I extracted it , I named it right and I moved it right... well, I will try again tomorrow but I don't think it will boot into it... Thomas boot.img has a cwm recovery ,does this have smthg to do with it?

What version of TWRP did you use? 2.8.1.0 will likely not work, use an older one instead.

Adjusted the description of step 8, should be more clear now what to do.
I've also added a note to point out explicitly that each run of "unpackimg.bat" will overwrite existing data.

I used the latest twrp...maybe that's why....I will try again and I will post here

thank you sooooo much.... i did it with the second try...the only thing i changed was that i downoaded a previous version of twrp because it wont work with the latest one...thanks a lot.... what about cwm? is it the same proccess?

CWM is included already. But you could split the latest cm boot.img and grab ramdisk-recovery.cpio from ramdisk/sbin to get the most up to date version

is this mean can add TWRP into .FTF files ?
that will be awesome

Can anyone share their twrp included boot.img for the latest thomas release?

Look for a *.cpio or *.cpio.gz file and replace that accordingly. The place doesn't really matter for you, the ROM knows where to find it. CM might expect it respectively at another place. Will take a look later if I can find something...

Won't work like that. Needs a script to be inserted into the ramdisk, @pabx style, plus the recovery folder with ramdisk-recovery.cpio inside.

was thinking why the latest TWRP was not working, then realized that the TWRP is written to be loaded into the FotaKernal.
then it worked with TWRP flashed into FotaKernal.
have pabx_aosp_yuga-509 installed
1. Followed your steps exactly to create a new boot_pabx_aosp_yuga-509.img (with the latest TWRP image "recovery-twrp-2.8.4.1-yuga.img").
2. Flashed recovery-twrp-2.8.4.1-yuga.img into the FotaKernal.
3. Flashed the new boot_pabx_aosp_yuga-509.img
it works

[Utility] Android boot Manager APK

Android Boot Manager (ABM), my goal is to make the procedure (Backup, Unpack, Edit, Repack and Flashe boot.img or recovery.img) so easy and accessible to all users without resorting to the command prompt , only a single click to get a quick and successful outcome at the same time .
This is the third version of the program.
Source (GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/aToxyD/android_boot_image_manager_apk).
WHAT'S NEW
- Some optimization.
- Add new Text Editor with high syntax.
THANKS
* xiaolu, original author of boot.img tool(GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools).
* Modding.MyMind, for his heavily modification of boot.img tool.
* Tah Wei Hoon, for TextWarrior.
* Dmytro Tarianyk, for Android Floating Action Button.
* Anthony Restaino, for Grant.
IMPORTANT
- Root is only necessary for Unpacking boot patched by "superSu or Magisk" and Backup/Flash Operations, so if you want to unpack stock boot or you have your favorite flasher apk like "Rachr", if so you dont need to check "Root Access" in settings menu.
- Please uninstall any previous version of ABM before installing the newer.

I do not like people to coming here and take what they wanted and leave like a thief , at least leave a comment. . .
This work is for all, so help your self.

This is the second version of the program.
WHAT'S NEW
- Corrected some bugs related to compatibility with Android 6.
- Use xiaolu mkbootimg tools (GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools)
TODO
- add support to x86, mips arch.
- add support to put files to unpacked folder.
- add support to combinedboot , in Xperia device recovery ramdisk is combined with system ramdisk.
IMPORTANT
- The apk need root access to work.
- Note that make change by adding files to unpacked folder with root explorer, the owner will be root and the apk will not work, if you do this you must change the owner to ABM apk.

But beware when you add new files to the unpacked folder , you must take into account that owner will be. root , so you must set owner to ABM apk.

So I tested with twrp IMG, and successful unpack to /data/local. Then I tried with my current kernel, and nothing's happening. I get a message that's not clear to me, (screenshot 2), and no output. Any ideas?

It seems that you delete the directory /data/local/ABM, So close the apk and open it again or wipe apk data and try again, if any problems tell me please :thumbup:

That was my original thought, so I wiped data and tries again, but no different... I'll just uninstall and reinstall, and probably be fine. Thanks

Same thing after reinstall. I tried with twrp file again, and works fine, but with kernel file, error msg...

It seems that the image you want to unpack it is not an android image.

It's the AOSP kernel from the ROM I'm currently using.

Try to edit devices.xml in /sdcard/ABM directory and backup kernel using ABM app, after try to unpack boo.img backed up, you find it in /sdcard/ABM/backup directory.
